If such display is not feasible, class flags shall be displayed from the stern pulpit (from the centre, if possible). 7.4 Boats shall display a bow number (a banner for classes B-C-D, a sticker for classes E-F-G) provided by the organizing authority on both sides of the boat. Refer to SI Appendix DELTA for positioning of bow numbers, banners, flags and sponsor pennants.

8 STARTING AREAS There will be two separate starting areas, one for each division. Division 1 is for coastal course racing. Division 2 is for windward/leeward (W/L) course racing. The starting areas for the two divisions will be located within approximately four nautical miles of the entrance to Porto Cervo harbour.

9 THE COURSES 9.1 Windward/leeward courses (W/L) are shown in Appendix ALPHA. 9.2 Coastal courses are shown in Appendix BRAVO (edition 2018). The Appendix BRAVO booklet is in the captains’ pack and published on the YCCS website. 9.3 Courses for races will be signaled from the race committee boat by displaying the course number on the course board no later than the warning signal for each class.

10 MARKS AND PROHIBITED AREAS 10.1 Marks of the course: 10.1 (a) For W/L courses, marks are described in Appendix ALPHA. Marks laid by the race committee will be yellow inflatable buoys except for the windward and windward offset change marks, which will be white inflatable buoys.

10.1 (b) For coastal courses, marks are described in Appendix BRAVO (edition 2018). Marks laid by the race committee will be yellow inflatable buoys, except for marks Bravo and Zulu, which will be red inflatable buoys. 10.2 Prohibited areas are described in Appendix BRAVO (edition 2018), section 5 (Prohibited Passages).

11 THE START 11.1 Races will be started in accordance with RRS 26. 11.2 On Division 2 (W/L courses), the starting line will be between staffs displaying orange flags on the race committee boat at the starboard end of the line and a service boat at the port end. The service boat at the port end may be replaced by a yellow mark. The race committee boat and the service boat may hold their position with the use of their engines. 11.3 On Division 1 (Coastal courses), there will be a two-part starting line. 11.3.1 The starting line will consist of three committee boats; starboard-end signal boat, mid-line boat and port-end line boat. The mid-line boat might not be on a straight line between the starboard-end signal boat and the port-end line boat. The service boat on the port end may be replaced by a yellow inflatable buoy. 11.3.2 For classes using the “long starting line”, the starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag on the starboard-end signal boat and a staff displaying an orange flag on the mid-line boat and between staffs displaying orange flags on the mid-line boat and the port-end line boat. The service boat on the port end may be replaced by a yellow inflatable buoy. 11.3.3 For classes using the “short starting line”, the starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag on the starboard-end signal boat and a staff displaying an orange flag on the mid-line boat. 11.3.4 If flag I is displayed for the classes using the long starting line, boats subject to this rule shall sail to the pre-start side of the line around either end, or around the mid-line boat, leaving it to port as if it were the port-end of the starting line, before starting. This changes RRS 30.1. (See diagram).

11.4 Boats whose warning signal has not been displayed shall avoid the starting area. 11.5 The scheduled time of the warning signal for the first race each day on each division is 11.30. 11.6 The starting sequence may change daily depending on which classes are sailing W/L and coastal courses. 11.7 The race committee will attempt to identify recalled boats by broadcast over the race committee channel. Failure of a boat to hear her recall notification and the timing and order of such hails will not be grounds for redress. This changes RRS 60.1(a).

12 SHORTENED COURSES 12.1 W/L races may be shortened at any mark, provided that the shortened race has a minimum of 3 legs, excluding the leg between Mark 1 and Mark 1a. 12.2 For coastal courses, see Appendix BRAVO edition 2018, Section 8 (Shortening Course).

13 CHANGE OF THE NEXT LEG OF THE COURSE 13.1 For W/L races, a course change for any leg of the race will be signalled by a race committee boat in the vicinity of the last rounding mark. The change will be signalled before the leading boat has begun the changed leg. The race committeee may broadcast any course change over the race commiteee channel. 13.2 For coastal courses, see Appendix BRAVO, edition 2018, Section 7 (Change of the Course After the Start).

14 THE FINISH 14.1 For W/L courses, see Appendix ALPHA. 14.2 For coastal courses, see Appendix BRAVO (edition 2018), Section 3 (Finishing Line). 14.3 When a boat finishes at night or in restricted visibility, she shall light her sail number using a powerful ligh or her spreader light and notify the race committee on the race committee channel when within 0.5nm of the finishing line. 14.4 For coastal courses, a boat shall not cross any finishing line on any leg of the course except her finishing line on her last leg. All other finishing lines and her finishing line on other than the last leg, rank as obstructions.

15 TIME LIMITS 15.1 For coastal courses, the time limit is 19.30. Boats failing to finish within 90 minutes after the first boat of her class sails the course and finishes will be scored one more point than the last boat finishing within the time limit. This changes RRS 35, A4 and A5. The scoring abbreviation for this will be ‘TLE’ (Time Limit Expired). 15.2 For W/L courses, the time limit is 90 minutes. Boats failing to finish within 15 minutes after the first boat sails the course and finishes will be scored ‘DNF’ (Did Not Finish). This changes RRS 35, A4 and A5.

16 PENALTY SYSTEM 16.1 A boat may take a One–Turn Penalty when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 or Rule 31 while racing. However, when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 while in the zone around a mark other than a starting mark, her penalty shall be a Two-Turns Penalty. 16.2 Penalty Declarations shall be delivered to the race office after finishing within the protest time limit. 16.3 Penalties for breaches of a rule other than a rule of Parts 1 or 2 of the RRS may be less than disqualification at the discretion of the jury. 16.4 POST-RACE PENALTIES (a) Provided that rule 44.1(b) does not apply, a boat that may have broken one or more rules of Part 2 or rule 31 in an incident may take a Post-Race Penalty at any time after the race until the beginning of a protest hearing involving the incident. (b) A Post-Race Penalty is a 30% Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in rule 44.3(c). However, rule 44.1(a) applies. (c) A boat takes a Post-Race Penalty by delivering to the race office or to the jury a written statement that she accepts the penalty and that identifies the race number and where and when the incident occurred.

17 PROTESTS AND REQUESTS FOR REDRESS 17.1 Decisions of the international jury will be final as provided in RRS 70.5. Jury boats may be at sea observing the races. 17.2 Protest forms are available at the race office. Protests and requests for redress, shall be delivered to the race office within the protest time limit. 17.3 Protest time limits are as follows: (a) For each class, the protest time limit is 90 minutes after the last boat has finished the last race of the day. (b) Boats finishing after 19.30 may deliver protests between 08.30 and 09.30 the following morning. 17.4 Notices will be posted no later than 30 minutes after the protest time limit to inform competitors of hearings in which they are parties or named as witnesses. Hearings will be held in the jury room, located on the ground floor of the YCCS Clubhouse. Hearings may be scheduled to begin up to 30 minutes before the protest time limit. All persons involved in the hearing shall remain in the vicinity of the jury room. For the Islands Long Race there will be no hearings before 16.00 on the following day unless the parties agree otherwise. 17.5 Notices of protests by the race committee, technical committee or jury will be posted on the ONB to inform boats under RRS 61.1(b). 17.6 On the last day of the regatta: 17.6.1 A request for reopening a hearing shall be delivered: (a) within the protest time limit if the party requesting reopening was informed of the decision on the previous day; (b) no later than 30 minutes after the party requesting reopening was informed of the decision on that day. This changes RRS 66. 17.6.2 A request for redress from a jury decision shall be delivered no later than 30 minutes after the decision.

18 MEASUREMENT PROTESTS 18.1 Boats may not protest another boat with respect to an allegation that a measurement stated in that boat’s measurement certificate is wrong unless the technical committee certifies that such measurement can be checked without delay. Any other such question shall only be resolved through the procedure set out in the ORC rules. This changes RRS 60.1. 18.2 Protests by competitors regarding a boat's measurement shall be delivered by 1600 on Sunday 9 September. Measurement protests shall be accompanied by a deposit of €1.000,00 for each protested boat. The protest shall indicate the matters to be examined.

Windward / Leeward Courses

The course, with magnetic bearing and distance to the windward mark from the starboard end signal boat on the starting line, will be displayed on the signal boat before the warning signal. The race committee will broadcast the course on the designated VHF channel prior to the warning signal.

Race committee starting or finishing boats may set a stand-off buoy. When present, this stand-off buoy, the line attaching it to the race committee boat, and the race committee boat are all part of the starting or finishing mark.

The windward mark is to be rounded to port.

A windward offset mark will be approximately perpendicular to the course axis and approximately 150 meters from the windward mark. The windward offset mark is to be rounded to port. If the windward offset mark is missing, boats are to round the windward mark. This changes RRS 34.

A leeward gate (2 marks) will be used. The gate will be located approximately 200 meters to windward of the starting line. If one of the leeward gate marks is missing, boats shall round the one existing leeward mark to port. This changes RRS 34.

For upwind finishes, the finishing line will be located approximately 200 meters to windward of the windward mark (unless there is a change of course).

For downwind finishes, the finishing line will be on the opposite side of the Race Committee Signal Boat as the starting line. The color of the inflatable marks are found in SI 10.
